Good work as always fellas, glad to see so many bug fixes, especially for our modders! :)

sullen bison
#

so at which point can we expect Stable branch ?

#

just asking because i hoped mp was the final stuff but i guess not so will it be 42.20 or more like 42.80

sullen bison
livid horizon
#

They said we're approaching stable sooner rather than later

sullen bison
#

im kinda very positiv about it because the last 2 patches were more balancing and fixing rather then adding new stuff

vernal sun
#

im heading to stendo for the stendo story

livid horizon
#

Yeah Im curious about that

sullen bison
#

Soon can mean next month or next spring

livid horizon
#

Go play something else in the meantime, then

#

My guess is a few months

summer kraken
#

Soon™

keen wyvern
#

In an earlier blog post it was described that TIS was in the "final charge" of fixes and whatnot to get to B42 Stable, hence the tons of fixes we've seen today

#

So I'm feeling optimistic :)

sullen bison
#

pz_disguised_face i hope as well that this is a sign of them packing everything up for stable

  • Garden hoes now have the ability to remove stumps
    In real life, can hoes actually remove stumps?
#

I would imagine spades or shovels would do, but not hoes.

#

The heads, I don't think they are built to handle fulcrum leverage. 🤔

#
  • Removed ability to sleep on toilets
    OHHH, this is a nerf.
hollow heron
tawdry galleon
#

In real life, I had experienced sleeping on toilets before.

slate dawn
tawdry galleon
# slate dawn I need to try that lol

Here's a tip: When you wanted to sleep on a toilet, make sure the toilet is an upright tank toilet, the one where the water tank is usually located behind your back when you sit normally.

You need to sit in reverse, so your head can rest on the toilet seat cover, and your arms laid over the water tank cover.

#

You can grab pillows to sleep as well.

tawdry galleon
#

If the toilet seat cover is lower than the water tank, that's the best toilet.

slate dawn
#

How many pillows do you reccomend?

tawdry galleon
#

Just 1 is suffice.

slate dawn
#

hmm, understandable

tawdry galleon
#

You have no idea the pains of trying to land my first job out of school while crashing at a friend's house. I had to use toilets sometimes.

slate dawn
#

Oh damn

tawdry galleon
#

Ya, job interviews suck in general.

No matter the age.

  • Fixed safe-to-eat mushrooms receiving the poison tag if cooked together with poisoned one.
    OOooh, this is interesting.
#
  • Fixed character getting damaged when climbing up/down on the escape rope.
    Finally, rope burns are a thing of a past.
#
  • Fixed double barrel shotgun consuming 2 rounds in one shot.
    OOOOH, a buff! 😄

In the server configuration menu, many parts of the text options are overlaid and difficult to see, at least in the Spanish version of the base game. Is there a way to make them visible correctly?

# hollow heron Are you using a localization mod?

Without mods, using the game’s own Spanish language. On the other hand, I checked in English and the same thing happens, although much less severe (the letters kind of stick out of the interface)

Apoc is now the new normal eh?

Sad life, when are they going to add new auto weapons? I want my as val!

I still really desire the ability to adjust the % of sprinters and the speed

Is that something being considered for sandbox?

Can I use it to reduce the speed of JUST the sprinters by 50%?

sly fossil
#

ah no you would need a mod for that

sullen rampart
#

And make it so that 10% of the population is sprinters?

sullen rampart
#

So there lies my suggestion

sly fossil
#

it is just spawn chance to BE a sprinter

#

I agree, that should be a thing

sly fossil
sullen rampart
#

The issue is there isnt an up to date mod atm

#

And I do feel its important

For a sandbox option anywya

#

I like sprinters, just want them slower

Were the multiplayer character names not displaying fixed in recent patched? I read but i dont know if its still in the works or fixed, Like showing your characters name instead of steam username

lol uh huh

Theyre just gonna be mad that mods broke

#

This is a great update, though, from what Ive seen. Its just gonna take a bit of work from modders to fix things as certain fields are no longer available

wooden mulch

new guns are nice

hollow heron
# livid horizon If I may ask, what was the rationale for limiting reflection to debug mode only?...
The Indie Stone Forums

As many of you have noticed, a number of the builds have disappeared from the Game Versions & Betas tab on Steam. Yesterday we were made aware of a significant security vulnerability in the game thanks to one of our modders who responsibly reported the issue to us. It's worth noting that this...

livid horizon
#

Yeah, that was my guess

hollow heron
livid horizon
#

Makes sense to keep reflection locked down, hopefully we can find a replacement method

acoustic oyster
#

what does reflection do

sullen rampart
#

Ohhhhh right I cant use small text

tribal crescent
#

alright time to see what bugs are in this one

sullen rampart
#

I had said "they will still complain"

tribal crescent
#

it seems like the most stable patch yet which is super nice goodjob guys

livid horizon
acoustic oyster
tribal crescent
livid horizon
#

Sorry I was just kidding, we were just talking about the redditors haha

#

Prob came off in bad taste 😥

tribal crescent
#

added the /s

jovial dagger
#

not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask - just read through to patch notes and wasnt sure if some of the notes were addressing the current major bug my co-op group is dealing with in the latest (now previous) unstable patch:

we were dealing with zombies desyncing every time we left base leading to frequent crashes.

#

i saw some stuff in the notes that might've been referencing that but unsure

tribal crescent
#

sometimes you'd leave chunks and ur teammates and both go into the old chunks at a different time causing zombies to appear only for one client at a time

jovial dagger
#

i should be more specific probably - not just desync, we were having entire hordes of zombies dissapear for some while being visible for tohers

acoustic oyster
tribal crescent
#

is the host using ethernet?

jovial dagger
tribal crescent
#

and driving too fast with that bad internet

#

if you drive super quick and have poor internet you can cause massive desync between you and others

jovial dagger
tribal crescent
#

are there lots of zombies

jovial dagger
#

we'll be fighting a horde and then zombies start dissapearing on screen. yeah lots of zombies

tribal crescent
#

ohh well that may just be zombies reaching the entity cap

#

what do you mean by alot

#

hundreds or thousands

jovial dagger
#

uh whats the second highest zombie pop option? its that one.

#

but we've had it happen with as little as 20-30

tribal crescent
#

okay then its a bug

#

even with desync it shouldnt be vaporizing zombies from your screen

jovial dagger
#

sorry, i dont mean to turn this thread into a helpdesk. i can make a post later. thanks yall

summer kraken
# jovial dagger we'll be fighting a horde and then zombies start dissapearing on screen. yeah lo...

Desync issues aren't a bug, they are a performance issue. Bugs can lead to desync, but yeah there's no "fix" for desync in general, it's a constant whack-a-mole of optimisations. There are some bugs that people confuse for desync, one of which has been fixed in this patch, but realistically it's going to depend on your server, your internet connection, the stability of your connection to the server, what mods are running on your server, and a bunch of other factors

jovial dagger
#

word, appreciate it. im sure yall get these vague random questions all the time so i appreciate the patient answer

livid horizon
#

I wonder if you guys have ever looked into using Compute Shaders for zombie migration... Im not sure if thats even possible but if so that could help a ton with performance

summer kraken
#

yeah, desync is always an annoying one too

livid horizon
#

Would also offload computation load to the GPU instead of just the CPU, which PZ often is bottlenecked by

summer kraken
#

I'm not sure what the team is using in that regard, but there are a lot of technical improvements we want to implement... it's just a matter of getting a window to implement them

tribal crescent
livid horizon
#

Fair enough. Ive been playing around with them, and I think that zombie migration is a prime use case

tribal crescent
#

sully mostly manages the community

livid horizon
summer kraken
#

I kind of am, I'm the liaison between the players and the rest of the team really

livid horizon
#

Just saying its def a research project the game could benefit from

tribal crescent
#

so the other devs can all see it

summer kraken
#

!suggestion

ivory geodeBOT
summer kraken
#

But yeah performance is always on our minds

tribal crescent
#

this patch has the best performance yet

#

im so happy the latest patch fixed so many well known bugs

#

will this patch stick around awhile?

summer kraken
#

depends on whether or not we need a hotfix

tribal crescent
#

i wonder if its worth starting a save or waiting for hotfixes

winter field
#

I was half a sleep I couldn't asked when the next update right when this was posted. MY BIT IT RUINED

#

and reddit will find a game breaking bug to complain about demanding one

"my soup wont microwave"

tribal crescent
#

wait can u still microwave canned food or does it start a fire

little tinsel
tribal crescent
#

imagine

little tinsel
tribal crescent
#

added ability to sleep on curbs

#

requires utterly shit faced moodle

#

OH WAIT DEVS

#

add curb stomping as doing more damage like imagine

meager trellis
#

not many curbs

what abt a hard surface bonus

tribal crescent
#

well i dont think it would logically be an easy thing to do tho considering curbs are all 2d texture files

tribal crescent
#

wood inbetween

#

would make fighting zombies in a parking lot better then in the woods

tribal crescent
meager trellis
#

Itd be a small actual boost

#

Unless ur an expert horde chipper

tribal crescent
#

i mean realistically if ur gonna slam ur foot on a skull the concrete would be the best spot to do it

#

grass and dirt conforms

#

wood can break (texture change to the wood missing a few boards it already exists in game)

meager trellis
#

Oh i mean in the sense that its not a huge benefit

#

Even if it doubled stomp damage fair odds the big boot would one shot anyway

tribal crescent
#

i think military boots need to be nerfed tbh

#

your foot should not consistently one shot zombie skulls unless there a rot system added

#

or atleast make it give you more muscle strain

meager trellis
#

counterpoint

tribal crescent
#

90% of players use the foot more then any other weapon still

#

a foot and a fence is still the best method in game

acoustic oyster
meager trellis
#

wuh

Earlygame maybe

tribal crescent
#

b41 foot method is so cheesy you dont even need to use bombs

meager trellis
#

Idk once i have a mace im clearing pois like crazy

tribal crescent
#

b42 its a little less op but still no.1

#

bomb buffs made them actually useful so

#

if bombs didnt cost so much to make alot of they'd be no.1

#

your foot with a military boot is just so op

#

even high hp zombies setting enabled ur foot is somehow a one shot

meager trellis
#

Pov: ur a zombie and a human appeared from the ether in a house as you were climbing through the window

tribal crescent

#

just make a line of them and train like in nuketown zombies...

Did gun slings get removed?

tribal crescent
#

it was all clothing that broke quick

tribal crescent
#

leather slings were removed

meager trellis
#

Servers werent bugged tho just the client seemingly

tribal crescent
#

pretty sure we'll get vanilla tactical slings soon

lofty abyss
#

Ok

meager trellis
#

Servers would remember the actual condition

#

Even if your client hallucinated a broken item 😂

tribal crescent
#

shoes breaking quicker when using stomp + higher muscle strain on legs would do the trick

#

all it takes is one hole in your shoe to make you bleed out in a horde fight

#

with zomboids slow ass first aid

meager trellis
tribal crescent
meager trellis
#

I also think bedsheets should finally be added

tribal crescent
#

easy way to stop people from using feet over any actual weapon

meager trellis
#

Imagine sewing a skirt out of a quilt or something

tribal crescent
#

like early game your foot is still useful

#

but late game you wont be going rambo with your feet

acoustic oyster

#

whats breaking first with these babies on

#

my foot or their heads

acoustic oyster
#

meager trellis
#

cleats would be a nice sports item add

Conditional speed bonus

#

Better speed on natural tiles, speed malus on pavement

#

More stomp damage than tbe big boot

meager trellis
little tinsel
#

these are new afaik? are tall fences properly thumpable by zeds now?

meager trellis
#

Stomping sends a fuckin shock thru your whole lower leg and the ground is basically punching ur foot

#

so unless you have a really supportive shoe youre gonna feel it after caving in a few dozen heads

If the fence looks like it wont come down any time soon then it probably wont

sly fossil

hoping fences will have different strengths based on what type they are though

#

The fence thumping is smth im... On the fence about tbh

#

The stress from them thumping a door 1 block over is already significant

sly fossil

just needs the anxiety balanced a bit

The stress from a small unseen horde pounding a fence is crazy lol

#

does it get better over time like panic when fighting?

I dont think stress is impacted by hardening

no i wanna be hardend like metapod

#

Id like to see more clothing materials

#

linen for instance

acoustic oyster
#

wet felting wool when

meager trellis
#

Usable for everything cotton is basically but linen clothing (typically) breathes better than cotton

#

So you can go out covered up, long sleeves long pants in summer and not get hot

#

It actually keeps you cooler bc its basically sunblock

acoustic oyster
#

thats so weird to me lol but makes sense like when you see in other countries in desert wearing that stuff, pretty neat

meager trellis
#

I assume thsts what the tropical shirt is

#

the tropical shirt in zomboid is basically like wearing air

meager trellis
#

random but i fuckin love the footwraps

#

id kill to be able to reinforce them like using aramid thread or smth

#

HI!

This means that certain ‘gamey’ features such as Zombie Respawn and Zombie Pop Loot Effects have been disabled.
This means that we can clear a zone definitively ? No more zed spawn on the mode Apocalypse ?

So now ex-"Apocalypse" is "Extinction" now ?
It's not really clear ^^

sullen bison
#

as far as i know

civic mountain
#

also, I hope they modify erosion in default apoc to be slower like how they mandate realistic animal growth and realistic crop growth

molten rain

Yeah but the zed spawn feature disabled is a massive thing for the 1st time of the game on main gamemode xD

#

B42, a few updates ago though, maybe 42.13

#

it was BAD

#

but my internet can be kind of janky sometimes so maybe that was it, hard for me to say

summer kraken
#

The issues in 42.13 were not caused by desync, but a bug that people thought was desync. That bug has since been resolved. This however does not mean that desync may not occur, as desync is a performance issue that can appear for numerous different reasons including internet connection or hardware limitations.

i'm just disappointed nothing has been done to change (or even explain) the colossal vehicle damage to zombies nerf in 42.14

@summer kraken is it fair or accurate to say that the security vulnerability kind of brought forward 42.15.0 a little bit earlier in the dev cycle than originally planned?
IE is it reasonable to assume that there will now be a slightly longer time until the next unstable patch/update?

I think removing respawn makes sense.

#

Though (this is my opinion), I'd like it if survival itself was made hard.

As a "no respawn" player, I think the new Apoc settings are very good

That's a total of -20% reduction in reading time

Another question, for the future would it be possible for item condition to be revised? I'd be fine if you needed to take care of your tools but I doubt steel tools would break that easily :p.

How to update
In require , incompatible, loadModAfter, loadModBefore need update values. It
must be just PARAM=MOD_ID1,MOD_ID2,MOD_ID3,... , WITHOUT \and WITHOUT
WORKSHOP_ID .
In server settings param Mods= need update in same way.
Does this mean we now do Mods=LibraryMod,Examplemod,CarMod like B41 again? instead of what I had to do with Mods=\LibraryMod;\Examplemod;\CarMod?
The server I'm running is up and somewhat works with the old method of \ModID but some mods had a weird behavior with the update; for example the TrueMusicJukebox complained about the wrong Workshop Mod ID I think not sure, as the translations changed and I didn't look into what it was before 😛

Edit: changed ; to ,

Hey! I have tested both gamemode : Apocalypse = No more respawn Boring. Extinction= Alarm everywhere / Very difficult to spawn on Westpoint and survive. May just "Story gamemode" keep "Apocalyspe" and create Extinction for hard survival would be better without needs to go sandbox to have our old normal run playthrough.

specifically when you have a gun they are trying to make steamdeck work better with the new aiming system so they probably messed it up that way

Ok but this is legit better. we can now telepush. Just lock it behind an 8point trait or something plz.

#

Project zomboid: Wild Wasteland trait. (option to disable it in server settings of course)

sudden sentinel
#

The sweet spot for controller players would be keeping the old aiming system for melee and unarmed players and allowing a cursor aim for firearms. Maybe a hold down R2 button to ready aim instead of just moving the joystick slightly. Its offputting when trying to slightly move the joystick. Plus on the steam deck and ally we can even turn on gyro controls.

For melee aiming in my experience with a controller you control a cursor on the map which would make sense for gun pointing i think

But during a close melee fighting with a zombie if your pointer is way far Away (since you kept the joysticks under tenion) and you need to turn around quickly to Target someone behind you can't since you have you need to drag that cursor behind you

That is my first impression after playing a bit, i would prefer the old system for meele, but maybe i am missing something

Wait, so they revamped the melee aiming as well? I thought it was only for guns?

I need to check things out.

As far as suggesting goes though what if they maintained the old aiming system using the controller with the color changing base on how likely you're going to hit the zomboid with a slight change.

Aiming spawns a recticle that moves up and down (head to leg) the zed your aiming at and timing the shot decides which body part it hits, with leveled aiming shorten the gap making it easier and quicker to hit the head. ^°

I'm not sure it was their intent to change for meele too 🤷‍♂️

Imagine: a heatmap, like factorio pollution. but for zombies instead of biters.

#

you'd HAVE to move bases or defend them with your life

#

Id think that would be a sick evolution of PZ base building. you build, you defend... you lose, but maybe you live on and go elsewhere... And come back 6 months later when they have dispursed some

#

Imagine needing like 3~5 bases scattered around

#

what your gonna leave for when you recover the base.. what you take with you..what you store elsewhere in your backup base just in case.

gritty sierra
#

Either that or put Hordes Alpha in the base game. Roaming hordes that spawn after a month would be sick

brittle path
#

sandbox setting for migration speed/heatmap spread/etc...

You could make nomad somewhat less of a 'challange' run and more of a 'Well, old base got overran..'

Hello devs, PLEASE revert to the previous gamepad melee aiming system, the new one it’s unreliable (at the very least) and it’s gonna get so many players killed because of it. Can’t believe someone is happy with this new system, at least for melee. Thanks
